Chapter 44: Seraphina
I was waiting for Rivenn and Seraphina to arrive in the studio. I could sense them outside the studio, I was confused as to what was taking them so long. So, I decided to go myself and take a look. As I was making my way outside A flash of red hair made me pause; it couldn't be. Is she here already. My feet carried me a little faster towards the door, the thought of her does something to me.
I stopped in my tracks when I saw that it was not her. But Morana. It was hard not to mistake those red hair of hers. They were in the same shade. Beautiful.
What is she doing here. Then I saw rivenn with a satisfied smile, he stared in her direction. How was he able to get her to be with him? That too in this short amount of time while I was here laying traps to catch a damned woman.
I had made sure that all the right people knew I was having a photoshoot. It will be a piece of cake for her to find out about it. She had somehow found out that I was at that party when not even my father knew. I bet she will find out about this photo shoot.
I could feel a small smile forming on my face as I thought back to when she had taken my photo and vanished. If she had asked, I would have posed.
I realized my mistake of smiling, when I saw Seraphina staring at me with a coy smile on her face. A sigh escaped me, now she thinks I was smiling for. I turned away, not looking at her as they approached, not even greeting her. I don't want her to get any ideas. She is already a headache.
With a tilt of my head, I called rivenn to my private room in the studio. "Is this your plan? Honestly, I don't think it will work." Rivenn said as soon as we entered the room.
"Did I ask for your opinion?" I replied annoyed at him. He is right, it might not work but this is the only plan I have. After searching for her for days, I was not able to find her. I even had people trail Andras. Nothing. No hint of her. It is frustrating.
When I heard rivenn was visiting I knew this was my chance to catch her. There isn't anything rivenn will not be able to find. All he needs to do is meet her. Or know her signature energy then he will be able to track her from the other side of the world.
I turned to him my annoyance cranking up that he had brought Morana here. "Focus on phantom. If I find you fooling around with Morana and you miss phantom, I will make sure that you will not see the light of the day again." I warned him.
Rolling his eyes, he went to the door. "let's see how well your plan works first."
I was sitting in his private room in the photo studio, lost in thought. Suddenly, the door creaked open and in walked Seraphina, a seductive smile playing on her lips. I felt a cold wave of anger wash over me, as I had clearly told her to stay away from me and that I had no interest in her.
Sure I had let her do flirt with me before, I may have even spent some time with her, but I had made it clear last time that she is nothing more than a time pass for me.
A scowl formed on my face as she sashayed towards me, her hair cascading down her back in a waterfall of silver curls. Her beauty was undeniable, but that is it, I was not interested. There are plenty of women who are beautiful she is not alone in that. I had told her countless times that I was not looking for something serious, but she continued to pursue him with an almost obsessive determination. If I had known this before I fooled around with her, I would not have touched her.
Seraphina approached with a sultry smile; her eyes fixed on me. "Asher, did you miss me? It has been so long, since we last met." she said she walked towards me with a seductive sway of her hips. I, however, remained stoic and unresponsive. I had no time for games or empty promises.
"No." I said dismissively, my patience wearing thin. I had made it clear time and time again that I had no interest in her, but she persisted in her pursuit, undeterred by his cold demeanor.
Seraphina smiled, her full lips curving into a sultry grin. She is not easy to get rid of. "I always liked your attitude." she said, moving closer to him, I could feel her hot breath on my neck as she said in my ear. "I can't get you out of my mind."
I clenched his jaw, trying to control my temper. But I can't show her that she was getting to me. It will only make her more determined to get under my skin.
"I told you to stay away from me, Seraphina," I said, my voice firm and cold.
She only stepped closer, almost climbing on my lap, her hand reaching out to touch him. But he was too quick for her. With a swift movement, he caught her wrist in his hand and held it firmly.
"Enough," he said in a low, menacing voice. "I have no interest in your advances, Seraphina. Leave me be or suffer the consequences."
Anger blazed in her eyes, her face twisted in anger and frustration. She was used to getting what she wanted, but not with me.
I was about to throw her out of the room when I sensed it. I sensed her.
A smile pulled at my lips as a little bird made of fire made its way into the room. Chirping angrily.
